The Animex day was a great stimulus for the Y2 children to develop and practise their coding skills to create a short animation. We used the fun children’s book, The Queen’s Knickers, as a base for our animation. First, we created a story board to outline the main four events of the narrative. We then selected a female sprite for the Queen and a male sprite for the butler who searches desperately to find the Queen’s missing knickers trunk. The children loved using Scratch to design their own version of a story that they have loved reading this year.
Good afternoon,
We have had a brilliant first week back in the academy with some brilliant opportunities and experiences.
On Tuesday, year 4 went on a visit to To learn about the countryside code and animals in their habitats.
Year 1 have visited Thorntree Library to see the books and hear stories.
Today, Year 5 and 6 have taken part in a gladiators day based on the amazing TV show and had a great time learning about the gladiators and the events that you would see on TV.
Well done to all of our core value champions being rewarded for respect linked to Attenborough House and David Attenborough. As well as our attendance winners 4B with 96.5%.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Good afternoon,
We have had another busy week here at Brambles.
We have had the year 6 SATs taking place. The children have worked incredibly hard and we are proud of their hard work and resilience both this week and the weeks beforehand. As a reward they had a bbq lunch today with all the trimmings. Well done again year 6!
Year 4 have been doing some brilliant art based on the work of Claude Monet.
This afternoon, we hosted one of the rehearsals for Shrek which are well underway. I just wanted to give a quick reminder as well that tickets are on sale for shows on the 25th June and can be purchased directly from Middlesbrough theatre if you wish to see the Trust-wide performance.
Well done to 6H as attendance winners this week.
Have a wonderful weekend, and we will see you on Monday for the last week before half term.

Well done year 6 x
Good afternoon,
We have had an incredible week at Brambles!
We have had a quidditch day, with most children learning how to play the famous wizarding game. Yarm school visited and did a VR session with our year 5 children exploring the solar system. Our year 6 children went bowling at Hollywood Bowl as a reward for all of their hard work ready for SATs.
Today, we have both celebrated and respectfully remembered the 80th anniversary of VE Day to close off the week of national celebrations. The children have had a wonderful day learning about VE Day, heard stories about some of the children’s relatives who lived through the war and had a wonderful street party as our lunch!
I would like to celebrate our attendance winners, 2S, with 100% attendance and our core value champions for demonstrating Kindness.
Can I also say a massive thank you to everyone who attended the RWInc meeting on Wednesday morning and enjoyed a breakfast bun.
And finally a huge good luck to year 6 who are doing their KS2 SATs next week, you have done all the hard work, now is just time to shine!
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy what looks to be lovely weather!

Good afternoon,
Week 1 of 4 for this half term is over and it was been a lovely week at Brambles. The weather definitely makes everything much more enjoyable!
This week we have welcomed our new school lunches and the feedback from children (and staff) has been amazing! The lunches look and taste delicious and I have attached some photos to share the unbelievable offer we now have for lunches!
The children have settled back in to their learning and are well settled for the run in to Summer.
Last night, we also held our first Matchfit session for parents and children through MFC Foundation. This is a great fitness session and was definitely enjoyed. If you are interested in attending next week, please drop Mr Swales a message and he will be able to get you the relevant information.
Today, in celebration assembly, we have recognised children for demonstrating our core value of respect linked to David Attenborough!
Well done to 1M for winning the attendance award.
Next week on Friday the children will be having a street party to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day and I’m sure those photos will make up next weeks update.
Have a wonderful bank holiday weekend and we will see you all back in the academy on Tuesday.
Thanks,
Mr Mayle

Our Year 6 pupils have celebrated the end of their time at Brambles with our annual camping trip to Lordstones Country Park. This involved three days and two nights spent enjoying the North York Moors National Park. The children arrived on Monday morning and promptly set up the campsite with all tents and equipment they would need to live outdoors for the time period. Over the three days, the children covered over 10 miles of walking with a particularly long walk on the second day taking in the North Yorkshire Three Peaks from Lordstones over to the Wainstones and back. In addition to the walking, the children took part in a host of other activities including weaseling through rocks, team-building challenges, and even a talent competition. It was a fantastic adventure and a great way for them to celebrate after all their hard work throughout year 6.

This year EYFS took part in Sports Day together. We split into teams and enjoyed taking part in eight different activities. We had egg and spoon races, welly throwing, and water collecting to name just a few! Nursery and Reception children all took part and the staff were so proud of everyone. It was lovely to have Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles to come and watch – they were great at cheering the children on!
Key Stage 1 and 2 sports days were split over two days but all children were involved in a wide range of races and activities that ranges from running and jumping to throwing and shuffling. It was a fantastic day enjoyed by all and it was brilliant to have parents and carers back to see the children enjoying sports outdoors.

Brambles celebrated the Queen’s Jubilee in true Brambles style. We started the day with a whole school assembly to celebrate our Jubilee Crown competition. Children across the whole academy were invited to make a Crown at home to bring into school. It was a difficult decision trying to pick winners however, each year group had a very worthy winner each winning a prize. The children decorated the corridors with bunting, and paper chains, and made flags. Each year group celebrated a decade from the Queen’s reign working together to create a special poster. At lunchtime, we had a whole school outdoor picnic with music playing. The atmosphere was fantastic – especially when all of the children joined in singing ‘Sweet Caroline’. In the afternoon we split the time so everyone had a turn playing games on the field – mini golf, ring toss, and limbo to name a few – then a craft session making a carriage for the Queen, a lolly stick soldier, and an Andy Warhol inspired collage of the Queen. Each child in school received a very special keepsake book and button badge to remember the day. The children thoroughly enjoyed the learning that took place and the celebrations to finish the half term.
